Shadow Trails in Azeroth

In the end, the pirate couldn't resist Xal'atath's persistent pursuit and agreed to Miss Void's request to return to him.

Of course, it was not because of Xal'atath's iconic "nymphomaniac", but more importantly because she brought back important news. After the last failure, the Burning Legion had set its sights on the world of Draenor.

There is bound to be some turmoil there.

Once the demons fully invade there, the Black Dragon Legion's beautiful plan in Draenor will go bankrupt in an instant, and all the black dragons will have to flee back to Azeroth in despair.

He will come back in the end anyway, so there is no big problem if Xal'atath returns early.

However, the news of the reappearance of the Black Spirit Pirates made Blake feel strangely moved.

Ah, this endless sea full of plunder, confrontation and destruction is really missing a lot of colors without the group of sea comedians.

On top of that, the Pirates have been a little tight lately.

He urgently hoped that the Black Spirit pirates would come back quickly, do some serious work in Azeroth, collect more treasures, etc., and then they would be robbed by him and help him subsidize his family.

"It's done! The holy object has been awakened! Ah, feel this incomparable power. This is the best reward that the tide bestows on its loyal believers."

Below the hall, after some "assist" from Xal'atas and Black, the awakening ceremony of the abyss holy objects was finally completed, and the three holy objects placed on the altar were still placed in place.

But compared to their previous "lifeless" appearance, they really seemed to have "awakened". They no longer needed to be infused with power, but instead actively radiated power to the outside world.

That sound belongs to the surging tide, that belongs to the roar of the storm, and that belongs to the whisper of the thing in the abyss.

The visions that are different from each other but blended with each other rotated and merged, and a song of the ocean tide was played in this hall. It was really singing! Blake, who was sitting on the edge of the chandelier, could hear it clearly.

The sea sages also heard it.

They felt it even more deeply. Each of them seemed to be inspired by the faith in their hearts. They knelt on the ground with tears streaming down their faces. Under the leadership of the exhausted but extremely fanatical leader, they chanted holy scriptures to the altar to celebrate this "moment of victory." .

They may not know that the end of this ceremony means the beginning of the countdown to their lives.

Maybe they know.

But I just don't care.

After all, death devotion does not seem like an unacceptable outcome for a group of cultists in every sense of the word.

After all, in their teachings, the "sons of the tide" who are loyal to the sea like them can follow the ocean currents and return to the warm embrace of the mother sea after death.

Well, it should be called Father of the Sea.

After all, N'Zoth, the ancient god, is more "honest" and "pure" and is not as good at playing as Yogg-Saron, the Thousand-Mawed Demon who likes "women's clothing".

While these believers were chanting enthusiastically, the three holy objects on the altar also shone with different haloes and intertwined together, looking very holy.

"Tell me, why do these evil things always appear in such holy and great images?"

Black, who was sitting on the edge of the chandelier, looked boredly at the prayers of the believers below. He asked Xalatath in his heart:

"Just to seduce people's hearts? Or do you want to express your ridicule in this way towards the so-called 'sacred' and 'just' in the eyes of mortals?"

"Haha, judging from my experience, this kind of thing is not as complicated as you think, my dear little master."

Xal'atas laughed and said seriously:

"If you want to give someone a gift, you have to decorate it beautifully, right?

Although judging people by their appearance is a foolish behavior that is resisted by countless people, in this cold world, everyone's way of looking at the world is based on appearance before connotation.

And if it comes to this issue, then I also have a question to ask you, my dear little master. "

Void Essence asked faintly:

"You are very good at deceiving others, so please tell me, why do people like you who are obviously untrustworthy like to say 'please believe me'?"

"Well, what a rhetorical question! What a complaint. I'm speechless."

Black shrugged, not intending to continue arguing with Xal'atath on this issue.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the sea sages in the hall left one after another. They were very tired. After several days of sleepless rituals, their bodies and spirits had been squeezed to the extreme.

The entire hall was sealed, and a group of capable and strong sea knights came from all around to guard outside the hall. There were also sea knights who were changing shifts and were also guarding the surroundings.

The news that the sacred object has been awakened has been sent to the Temple of Storms, and Lord Stormsong will rush over soon to decorate the sacred object as a gift to the "King of the Sea".

From this, the Church of Storms will have an absolute advantage in the upcoming conflict with the Holy Light for this island nation.

Dai Lin's appeal among the people is terrible.

Once the Warrior King officially declares his conversion to the Church of Storms in public, the Church of Light, which has just made some progress in Kul Tiras, will be knocked back to the bottom in an instant.

They may even be permanently expelled from the land of Kul Tiras due to the failure of this source.

However, although the hall has been defended by the sea sages in the highest security form, it is obviously a bit of a dream to stop a hybrid of assassins and spellcasters like Black with such means.

He could feel the flow of magic from the magic wards in the hall without using his eyes. He jumped from the chandelier and landed lightly on the ground with his cloak flying.

Strolling in the courtyard is like a dancing male singer. With an elegant beating and movement, she perfectly avoids the detection of all barriers.

A few minutes later, the pirate stood in front of the altar wrapped in the torrent.

"Pet them, little master, see how cute they are."

Xal'atath stirred in his heart and said to Black:

"Don't be afraid that N'Zoth will find you. This place is still a little far away from the Sleeping City of Ny'alotha. As long as I protect you, that damn big-headed monster N'Zoth can't hurt you.

It is the most cunning among us, but also the weakest among us.

In the era of the Dark Empire, its territory was the smallest. After being sealed by the Titan Guardians, its cage was naturally the most stable.

It can only scare you with its eyeballs and tentacles.

As long as you are not afraid, it will not be able to harm you further. Of course, I will not allow that ugly and disgusting thing to touch my little master. "

"Thank you for your loyalty, my dear servant. It would be nice if you could be more sincere next time. When I am with you, I always feel like I am playing a game with a cobra.

Do you know that feeling?

It may give you the feeling of taking a bite at any time. "

Blake moved his fingers and reached out to touch the altar in front of him. The wave barrier could not block "Baron Riptide" from touching it.

Any power derived from water flow must show respect in the face of the "glory" given by the Tide Hunter. Even the power of darkness contained in it must be shunned in front of the elemental monarch.

"Hey, when did you gain this most advanced elemental power? Is my little master planning to walk the path of a shaman?"

Xal'atas said in surprise:

"Why are you so confused? I can give it to you anytime you want. How can a great man like you serve that bastard Tide Hunter? In the era of the Dark Empire, he was a dog under the command of the ancient god.

Still the most ill-behaved and gloomy dog. "

"Let me correct you, I don't want to serve the Tide Hunter, I just cooperate with him."

Black said:

"It's just a partnership."

"Oh, I understand, the kind of cooperation that can be abandoned as cannon fodder at any time, right?"

Xal'atath let out a burst of laughter and said:

"As expected of you, my little master."

"Hey, we can't speak so directly, it will offend others."

The pirate criticized, and Xal'atath expressed his obedience in admitting his mistake. The next moment, Black's hand with the gauntlet touched the black void stone.

The translucent character card in front of me immediately gave the entry:

Name: Void Stone

Quality: Abyss Relic

Special effects:

1. When carrying the Void Stone, all damage is increased by 100%.

2. You can use the [Void Sheath] magic to activate the energy of the Void Stone, apply [Shadow Shell] to yourself or all lives within a thousand yards, and absorb all damage until the Void Stone energy is exhausted.

Note that this protection has the highest level of resistance and can absorb divine damage.

Curse special effects:

1. When carrying a void stone, all healing effects are invalid and void/shadow resistance is reduced by 100%.

2. When the [Void Sheath] magic is activated, the [Void Embrace] effect will be applied to the user and the protected person, and they will receive a mental shock generated from Ny'alotha and the Sleeping City every 6 seconds.

If you are unable to withstand the impact, you will be subjected to effects such as [Crazy], [Hysteria], and [Chaos Corrosion].

After 10 successful mental shock tests, the user will enter an irreversible [voiding] state, with flesh and blood twisted, mind corrupted, and kneel down to N'Zoth.

Its camp will be permanently locked to [Chaos].

Note that this effect is irreversible.

The effect of [Void Embrace] will only end when the magic of [Void Sheath] is broken.

Item description:

Millions of years ago, N'Zoth was blocked by this stone from the Guardians' bombardment. It can undoubtedly save your life under any circumstances, but it will also make your life worse than death.

"Good guy, such a simple and crude effect is really tempting, especially for those guys who are extremely thirsty for power."

Blake grinned.

He put his hand on the trident in the center. When he touched the trident, he felt that he was surrounded by the sea, and the endless tidal power was rolling and trying to pour into his body.

But the pirates refused to accept it.

Because he also saw the entry for this thing. Like the Void Stone, it is extremely powerful and extremely evil:

Name: Abyssal Trident

Quality: Abyss Relic

Special effects:

1. When carrying the Abyss Trident, the user is strengthened by the power of the tide and obtains the [Abyss Protection] effect, reducing all damage received by 75%.

2. When using the trident to fight, you will get the [Deep Sea Harmony] effect, so that every attack will trigger a [Legendary] power level tidal impact within a thousand yards.

This effect doubles the destructive power in the ocean, and has the highest level of penetrating damage, which can penetrate most defensive effects.

The destructive power against divine creatures of order is increased, and the destructive power against divine creatures of chaos is decreased.

Curse special effects:

1. When carrying a trident, the void/shadow resistance is reduced by 100% and cannot be treated.

2. Obtain the [Abyss Collapse] effect. If the tidal impact cannot defeat the opponent, it will cause dissatisfaction with the trident and launch a mental impact on the user.

If you are unable to withstand the impact, you will be subjected to effects such as [Abyss Call] and [Void Echo].

After 5 successful mental impact tests, the user will enter the irreversible [Void Enhancement] state, gain more powerful power blessings, receive abyss combat skill enhancements, and complete the transformation of void creatures.

Its camp will be permanently locked to [Chaos].

Note that this effect is irreversible.

The [Abyss Collapse] effect will only be triggered when the opponent is defeated.

Item description:

This trident makes no secret of its evil and power. It clearly tells everyone that the key to controlling it lies in will. Many powerful warriors throughout history have considered themselves worthy of wielding it.

But the fallen warriors in the city of Ny'alotha have different views on this.

"To be honest, if I were a fighter, I would also be moved."

Blake withdrew his finger and said to Xal'atath:

"N'zoth has really figured out the Achilles' heel of those simple-minded and very confident warriors. Which warrior who can achieve great things would claim that he is weak-willed?

Now I feel that Dai Lin is really going to die."

"Not necessarily. Please have some faith in your father, little master."

Xal'atath retorted:

"With Dai Lin's combat power, talent, and the blessing of this trident, there are very few people in this world who can block his tidal kill on the sea.

As long as he is not defeated, he is in no danger. "

"Well, yes, he must have thought so too."

Blake pouted and said:

"N'zoth also hopes he will think so. It is really a cage tailor-made for him."

As he spoke, the pirate's hand touched the last crown again.

This time Blake also felt a surge of desire. If the trident is a temptation for warriors, then this crown is a temptation for mages.

Its entry is as simple and crude as it is shocking:

Name: Stormcaller

Quality: Abyss Relic

Special effects:

1. When carrying the Storm Caller, you will get the [Storm Attunement] effect, all damage will be increased by 100%. After multiple casts, you will get the [Unstoppable] effect, and all magic damage will be increased by 300%.

2. The Storm Summoner gives the user the [Storm Annihilation] effect. After each spell is cast, there is a high probability of activating the Storm Summoner's ability, releasing a [Legendary] power-level lightning storm within a thousand yards.

Enemies shrouded in the storm will suffer a large amount of magic shock damage and enter [Magic Weakness], with all magic effects reduced by 50%.

Curse special effects:

1. When carrying Stormcaller, the void/shadow resistance is reduced by 100% and cannot be treated.

2. When the lightning storm is in effect, the user will conduct a will test every 6 seconds. If the user fails to pass the test, the [Void Summoning] effect will be applied.

After [Void Summoning] accumulates to 5 times, the user will enter [Void Transformation] and activate the [All Creatures Fear Death] magic.

Any life with less than 25% health will be pulled into the shadow of the abyss, with a high probability of dying on the spot, and a small probability of being transformed into a void creature.

Note that the [All Things Fear Death] magic takes effect on the user at the same time, and the instant death effect it comes with will not affect the user himself until [Void Call] is responded to.

Item description:

This crown has been used to destroy or save countless times. It has killed countless confident spellcasters, but there is still an endless stream of people chasing it.

The trick to using it is that it's best paired with a Void Stone, but once you choose two items to use together, it means Ny'alotha and the Sleeping City are open to you.

"In my memory, N'Zoth does not have the ability to summon storms, so I guess the power of this crown comes from the Sky Wall, right?"

Blake asked.

Xal'atath quickly replied:

"Well, Al'Akir helped cast it during the era of the Dark Empire."

"very good."

Blake snapped his fingers and said:

"Then after this matter is over, the treasures should be returned to their original owners. The Wind Rider will reward me for this, right?"

"I doubt that crazy Al'A'kir would stab you."

Xal'atath said quietly:

"The madness of other elemental monarchs just stems from the chaotic nature of elemental creatures, but Al'Akir is really crazy. Don't provoke it, at least not until I come back.

Although I can help you repair your body and resurrect you, you don’t want to be missing a few parts, right?

maybe worse

How many more? "
